What our
panel of critics thought |
|
"My,
did that wench throw the evenings piss from the piss pot on that cowboy? No wonder
he cut her so." "I
have never seen a western, even a comedy western, in which people throw number
twos at each other, straight from the piss pot of relief. Seeing the scene
in which the piss pot is thrown in the face of our causer of mischief, I am surprised
I have never seen it, although now regret sewing this possible seed for the future.
Oh my!" "Clint
Eastwood, rummaging about in the mud with Hogs - now that's entertainment! I put
that bit in a loop and have been watching it three hours every night ever since.
A Hog farming marvel!" "Did
you know that Clint Eastwood is Doowtsae Tnilc spelt backwards?" "Delilah
is cut? My oh my." "Delilah
is cut? Why oh why?" "A
wonderfully PC 1878. Were whites really that tolerant of blacks then? (I
mean the bit before they whipped his ass to
death, bitch.)" "Gene:
following that whipping scene I am not surprised they now call you Mr Whackman!" |
Please
tell me the ending or plot overview if necessary
|
| Delilah,
a prostitute, is cut in the face. Her fellow prostitutes seek revenge and put
a $1000 bounty on the heads of the two culprits. Gene
Hackman plays a sheriff who is determined to stop this contract being executed.
Hackman's character fails to do this, but manages to catch the third member of
the party, played by Morgan Freeman, who is captured (after the first of the two
hits) after he turns back. Freeman's
character is killed by the sheriff and after the successful completion of the
$1000 contract, Munny returns and kills Hackman. |
Justify
this movie's existence in the classic strand from
theVoiceofReason.com's Veritable Cornucopia |
|
A wondrous
19th century gallop through the undeveloped country for $1000, to kill a couple
of scoundrels who cut a prostitute's face after she threw the evening's piss upon
his bonce! A triumph of revenge-tertainment! A
movie which I enjoyed much better on its second viewing, as then I knew Mr Eastwood's
longevity was assured. Some
say this is Eastwood's finest movie. I personally wonder if his finest one is
still to come?
I now have so much respect for Mr Eastwood who, as he ages, seems to be improving
like the finest of fine wines. Mr President anyone? |
What snack
should I eat while watching this movie? |
|
Very cheap man
size chips (salt and treble-vinegar or super cheesy) |
If
I were to watch this on video/DVD how best should I sit?
|
| In
the taking cover position (side of sofa with gun cocked and ready). |
Would
your cat like this movie? Would your dog like it? Other pets? |

Clint Eastwood was recently voted into the top ten most influential cats in history.
Dogs
love Clint. He is one of their favorite owner types - the old but fit types who
seem to like nothing better than to walk all day. However, be careful that Eastwood
never says anything that the dog could take literally as there is an evens chance
they will do what he tells them to without looking to you for approval first. Aardvarks
are allergic to Clint Eastwood and will hide their noses until he is gone. |
How much
would you pay for a copy of this movie in goods. |

overlarge Stetson. |
